you can do that with task schedular in xp. @damian666 if you can add option to paint calendar on wallpaper applied, i would rate this 5/5 stars there's an online tool that can do that..it grabs your picture files and paint a little monthly calander image on it..then you'll get a wallpaper with a nice calender on it http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/wallpaper.php#

right now im using nlited xp with some components removed from this os. i have one question; can i install SP3 on this nlited xp? my concern is that SP3 will install patches/hotfixes for components that never exist on my xp, will this cause my windows to be unstable or so?

maybe this would help.. #NoTrayIcon Dim $cCounter = 0 Dim $FindFile = FileFindFirstFile(@WindowsDir & '\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg') While 1 FileFindNextFile($FindFile) If @error Then ExitLoop $cCounter = $cCounter + 1 WEnd FileClose($FindFile) $FindFile = FileFindFirstFile(@WindowsDir & '\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg') $i = 0 while $i < 5 $RandomNum = Random(1, $cCounter, 1) $i = $i + 1 WEnd Dim $curFile For $i = 1 To $RandomNum $curFile = FileFindNextFile($FindFile) If $RandomNum = $i Then RegWrite("HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop", "Wallpaper", "REG_EXPAND_SZ", "%SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper\" & $curFile) ExitLoop EndIf Next FileClose($FindFile) Exit it randomly picks up a picture file in a folder then apply it as wallpaper..

i'd like to use wallpaper from folder i specify without copying them to install folder..can you add this option?

what is old bios info actualy? from its description in nlite, it only mention that old bios info will be loaded during the textmode portion of setup..what's that for? does windows or some programs maybe like speedfan or other hardware monitor programs need to use that bios info after installation done?

REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{19F500E0-9964-11cf-B63D-08002B317C03}] @="Desktop Icon Layout" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{19F500E0-9964-11cf-B63D-08002B317C03}\InProcServer32] @="C:\\Layout\\Layout.dll" "ThreadingModel"="Apartment" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\IconLayout] @="{19F500E0-9964-11cf-B63D-08002B317C03}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved] "{19F500E0-9964-11cf-B63D-08002B317C03}"="Desktop Icon Layout" Replace C:\\Layout with path to the folder you save layout.dll in..Must use double slash in the path..FYI, desktop icons layout/position is stored in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop under value ItemPos[YourScreenResolution](1) and if you prefer the hard way, you can export that value to reg file to save icons position on your desktop..when you're to restore the icons position, just merge that reg file and restart explorer.exe process (kill it then start it again)

howdy..is there anyone who speaks spanish here? can u please listen to these songs and tell me their tittle..if you have no idea what their titles are, writing a few lines of their lyrics also help me much. song1 http://www.mediafire.com/?fnaauoiuyny song 2 http://www.mediafire.com/?ammgmjvykmt song 3 http://www.mediafire.com/?azmt3ztrojd song4 http://www.mediafire.com/?f0mozinrg3e i heard those songs on batanga online radio - through Screamer..althought i dont speak spanish, but i do listen to spanish songs soemtimes.. thanks in advanced!

I initially used Nero Lite Micro but since nero incd has been stripped from it, i have no other chooice but to go for bulky and bloated nero setup..dont u think nero incd must be included in nero lite cos it's got to do with cd/dvd burning program..i just dont understand why the creator of nero lite uncluded Nero wav editor in it when it doesnt serve any purpose for burning cd/dvd..doesnt make sense.. =(

@fdv it seems that the download link on the site isnt working right now..if you already download the program, could you please upload it to any file hosting and post download link here..

i dont get it..what do you mean..? some programs I installed have a problem to display correct system temperature after I install a fresh copy of nlited Windows so im suspecting that that bios info is needed by those programs to collect hardware info to display temperature..im not sure..what's the bios info used for..?

Is it possible to restore old bios info once it's been removed..? Is there any way..?

why would you want to do that?

Speedfan itself has a built-in events manager..You must have overlooked that feature..

duhh..that's not how you do it..this should work.. Taskkill /IM YahooMessenger.exe /F the /f parameter must be present after the /im parameter and the image name.. open your command prmpt and type taskkill /? for more info

Problem's solved..Bad media..I burned the iso on another cd this time and the error message I previously got didnt show up anymore.. Sorry for all the trouble..Btw, thanks for your friendly helps..!

sorry..It's not on the cd..I couldn't locate the file..I've searched..the only .sif file I found is TXTSETUP.SIF I have another nlited XP cd created with nlite v1.2 and it works just fine..never run into such problem when installing..I used the same XP setup cd that I built my previous nlited XP cd with to make my latest nlited XP that failed on me now.. p.s: I'll check again if I did something wrong when in the nliting process..

No..I didn't remove 16bit support.. Yes..the CONFIG.NT_ file is there.. Here's my preset file.. Last_Session.ini I just removed some components I dont need, set up few settings in Options (like clean MUI, OEM branding, remove old BIOS info, TCP/IP patch and USB polling frequency) and created bootable iso at the end..That's all.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.. Using nLite 1.3 RC2, I created my XP setup cd from XP Pro SP2 OEM setup files..During the installation, everything went smoothly until an error message box popped up saying: 16 Bit MS Dos Subsystem --------------------------------- C:\Windows\System32\shmgrate.exe C:\Windows\System32\config.nt The system file is not suitable for running ms dos and microsoft Windows application. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. --------------------------------- At the back of the error message box, there was an empty command prompt window with message "C:\Windows\System32\shmgrate.exe" on its title bar. Any idea?

Try this.. Fix_Red_X.reg Btw, I had the same problem few weeks ago..If you search around this forum, you'll find my post regarding this problem..but sadly I didnt get much help to get it fixed...countless hours of searches on google has found me with this registry file..I cant recall what exactly the site address I found this reg file at as I didnt really pay attention to it..I just randomly clicked on search results..If you happen to know or used to see this reg file somewhere, please post the site url here..thank you

This registry value... HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}] SortOrderIndex (0x48 = My Documents, 0x54 = My Computer)

I think he's asking about way to completely remove the left side/half of the start menu - part where frequently launched programs and pinned programs will appear, and shrink his start menu just like he shows in the shot.. It's not possible to do that just by modifying registry..how your start menu looks is controlled by visual style you are using..

Total Uninstall does that..it basicly works by comparing changes in "before" and "after" snapshots of your registry and files/folder on hard disk..

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Remove Frequent Programs List from the Start Menu [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList"=dword:00000001 ok..I guess that's what you're really looking for..hopefully..

uhh..nope..it doesnt work either..the same error message showed up.."mshtml.dll was loaded but the DllREgisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered". any ideas?

I dont recommend unregistering the dll as by doing so it would also remove the ability to show thumbnail for pictures in windows explorer..
